   Is it possible to have no sidebar only on the Forum page? If so, is it difficult for a beginning webmaster like me to do? I'm good at following directions, but each step must be clear.
   Thanks if you can.

   "Yes" on no sidebar on forum page

   You will get better responses if you post a URL

   Hi

   I'm not familiar with your theme dkret3. I just installed it on a test WordPress installation.

   Start here: In the WordPress dashboard, edit the Forum page.

   To the right of the editor box is a box called Page Attributes.
   In that box, set Template to No Sidebar Page. Update the page, refresh your Forum page and see what you have created.

   That is the basic of what you are looking for. It may require a few CSS tweaks to get the formatting just as you want it. You won't know that until you take these steps.

   Glad to hear it

   That is a WordPress feature called Custom Page Templates. It can be applied to any theme. You can make as many templates as you require and have different parts of a site look quite different than other parts.

   Read about it here:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

   Much of it is done with CSS, by the way, that overrides the theme's default CSS. A good way to do it is to assign a custom class to a page's BODY tag and then assign CSS to that class
   .forum #content { width: 900px }
   when the rest of the site might be using
   #content { width: 640px; }
